contractions and how exercise affects the
performance of these.

BODY
Learning the major
muscles of the
muscular system will
help you understand
the importance of
exercises.
MUSCLE FATIGUE
If we exercise or use our
muscles strenuously for a long
time, muscle fatigue occurs.

Without rest, an active or


working muscle begins to tire
and contracts more weakly
until it finally ceases reacting
and stops contracting.
SYMPTOMS of MUSCLE FATIGUE
• Muscle weakness
• Soreness
• Localized pain
• Shortness of breath
• Muscle twitching
• Trembling
• Weak grip
• Muscle cramps

MUSCLE
CONTRACTION
ISOTONIC CONTRACTIONS

These are contractions


which cause the muscle
to change length as it
contracts and causes
movement of a body
part.
CONCENTRIC CONTRACTION

is a type of muscle
contraction in which the
muscles shorten while
generating force,
overcoming resistance.
ECCENTRIC CONTRACTION

results in the elongation of


a muscle while the
muscle is still
generating force; in
effect, resistance is
greater than force
generated.
ISOMETRIC CONTRACTIONS

In contrast to isotonic
contractions, isometric
contractions generate
force without changing
the length of the muscle,
common in the muscles of
the hand and forearm
responsible for grip.
ISOKINETIC CONTRACTIONS
This is similar to isotonic contraction in
that the muscle changes length during
the contraction, where they differ is
that Isokinetic contractions produce
movements of a constant speed. The
muscles are exposed to a fixed
machine with variable degrees of
resistance.
